Airfix - 1804 Steam Loco
(A05871)
Richard Trevithick was a young engineer but was
responsible for one of the most important of all
inventions - the first steam locomotive. In 1795, when
he was only 25 years old, Trevithick was building
working models of high-pressure steam engines. Cornish
tin and Welsh coal miners used his early engines to
power carts from 1800, and, in 1804 his first steam
locomotive, the Penydarren, was unveiled and ran at the
heart-stopping speed of 5 m.p.h. The most revolutionary
feature of Trevithick's 1804 locomotive was the fact
that it had smooth wheels operating on smooth metal
rails. Until Trevithick's achievement, engineers has
said it was impossible to run an engine on non-geared
track, but he had proved them wrong and the golden era
of the steam locomotive had begun.

Airfix - Vostok 1 Space Rocket
- Kit (A05172)
One of the most
successful space designs ever, the initial flight of the Vostok which carried
the first human being into space was launched on 12th April 1961. Vostok 1,
carrying cosmonaut Yury A. Gagarin, made a single orbit of Earth before
re-entry.
The Vostok series included six launchings over a two-year period. The final two
missions in June 1963 by Vostok 5, followed two days later by Vostok 6, carrying
Valentina V. Tereshkova, the first woman in space, were notable in that the two
spacecraft travelled at times only 3 miles (4.8 km) apart, setting the stage for
future space dockings between orbiting vehicles.

Airfix - TSR.2 & Stratos 4 - 1:72

been exposed to the menace of approaching comets. To
prevent the disaster by comet impact, the earth is

by ZELL (Zero-length launch) like a surface-to-air
missile, flying to mid-altitude using two jet engines
and rockets equipped under the wings. She locks onto a
meteorite and destroys it with a big missile.
This is the story of the Stratos 4 series from Japan –
this is aircraft based on the TSR.2 with added parts for
the science-fiction TSR.2MS interceptor.
The original TSR.2 model can also be built from this kit
and it includes decals for the iconic prototype aircraft
from the 1960s.

History: Bruce McLaren Motor
Racing was founded in 1963 and competed in its first
Grand Prix at Monaco in 1966. The team's first Formula
One victory was in the non-championship Race of
Champions at Brands Hatch with Bruce McLaren at the
wheel. He won again that year in the Belgian Grand Prix
at Spa giving the team their first championship win. In
1974, the team won its first Constructors Championship
and their driver Emerson Fittipaldi secured the Drivers
Championship in the McLaren M23. The team has won a
total of 8 Constructors Championships and 12 Drivers
Championships with such legends as James Hunt, Niki
Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Mika Häkkinen.
Following a remarkable second place in his 2007 rookie
season, Lewis Hamilton secured the 2008 Drivers’
Championship by a single point to become the first
British Champion since 1996. The MP4-21 was developed by
the team for the 2006 Formula One season and introduced
the now familiar distinctive chrome livery. This
was the car that Lewis Hamilton tested in September of
that year, resulting in his appointment as a Vodafone
McLaren Mercedes driver for the 2007 season.
